| Sumario: | In the last decade, right-wing extremism has increased in Europe and in Spain. On the one hand, the rise of far-right anti-immigration movements and parties in other European countries has provided international allies and information resources that help nation-based far-right movements to expand. On the other, the general disinformation environment in traditional and social media is helping these movements to convey their message, contributing to the dissemination of hate-based fake news and hate speech. This research study aims to analyse how the current changing context is affecting Spanish youngsters' attitudes and speech, and to what extent they find extreme rightwing ideas and discourses - such as hate speech - attractive. In particular, it attempts to examine whether youngsters are well equipped to resist radicalization in a context characterized by disinformation. Finally, it proposes some recommendations aimed at public authorities and civil society organisations in order to prevent right-wing radicalization among youngsters. |
